TSS4550
IrDA – UART Integrated Interface
Description
The TSS4550 is a very low power consumption
integrated circuit. It combines the functions of a
PC–compatible UART and an IrDA interface circuit. It
provides both serial and infrared communication
interface ports to a processor. It connects to an external
bus which may be either multiplexed address/data bus or
separate address and data buses. It incorporates a
FIFO–buffered high speed UART. The output of the
UART may be connected, using a 3 way multiplexer, to
either an external IrDA transceiver via an internal pulse
shaping circuit or directly to one of two separate
MODEM compatible output ports (logic levels). The
pulse shaper is compliant to the IrDA standards
revision 1.2.
The TSS4550 also provides additional peripheral
support by way of control outputs and a parallel I/O port.
In addition to normal operating modes, the device has a
power–down mode for power saving and test modes to
assist with board manufacturing.
